When you think about the highlight of your year, unless you have a special occasion coming up, then it’s more than likely that you’ll be looking forward to your summer vacation more than anything else. But if you’re starting to get bored with the kind of travel that you’ve been sticking too for a while, you might like to spice things up a little by finding your perfect getaway. And no, this doesn’t mean that you have to book something luxury or even step out of your comfort zone. Instead, you just need to find something a little exciting and different that you’re going to really look forward to. So let’s take a look at some different options that you have for this.

Stay Lakeside
If you usually find yourself heading to the local coast or a beachside spot down south, why not shake that up a little. You might not know it, but there are tons of incredible small lake towns that could provide you with the perfect break backdrop. Lakeside locations are always romantic. When you’re in a remote spot, there’s often no better way to rest, relax, and make the most of your downtime.
Learn Something New
Who says you have to be in college to enjoy a bit of education? If you want to do things differently this year, then why not think about learning something new on your travels? Head to a California vineyard and learn how wines are made. Or maybe visit a small town most known for its tourist trade and get to know it a little more. This can often make for a really fun and interesting experience on your travels.
Get Musical
Who doesn’t love to enjoy anything music related in the summer? So when it comes to making some travel plans this year, why not follow the sound of music? Whether it’s in the form of the Rolling Stones exhibit or even a festival like Lollapalooza, getting musical will always spice up your summer plans. And if you get to squeeze in a bit of travel, sightseeing, and foodie goodness at the same time, who’s complaining?
Take A Tour
If you do really want to make sure that you soak up the sun and enjoy lazy days on the beach, then why not make a real song and dance of things? Instead of heading down south, head to Europe. Not only could do you do some island hopping Greece and really feel like a nomad, but you could travel through the mainland, from countryside to coast to city, and take in some fun and exciting cultures this summer.
Hit The Road
And finally, if you’ve never done it before, then you should definitely take yourself on the All American road trip. Driving the Pacific Coast Highway is something that every American should look to do in their lifetime. Not only is it incredibly freeing, but you’ll often get to see some really amazing locations along the way, and you kind of get to enjoy a bunch of mini vacations in one.
